Slime air inflator

I have one of those slime compressors. I bought it for taking to the trails with the jeep. I usually air the tires down to 8psi for off road performance. At the end of the day I use it to air the tires back up to 28psi. It takes a few minutes but it gets the job done. When not on the trails I use it in the camper for pumping up air mattresses.

I bought one from Pep Boys last year. It has its own battery that you recharge. It works well, but does take a little while to get up to 50-60 PSI. I think I paid about $50 for it.

I got one 4 years ago when I had a blowout and the spare only had 15lbs. I only use it up to 50 lbs.2 years ago the hose split.I called Slime and asked if I could buy another.Even though out of warranty,they sent me a free hose .
Somebody would make a fortune if they came out with a kit to convert these to 1/4 inch air hoses!!!

I've been using the Slime from Wally World and works pretty good. Its kind of slow I guess, but gets the job done. I've never tried airing up from a complete flat, just adjustments from 60 psi to 75/80 psi. 300 bucks is a lot!

I have been using one very similar to that for the last several years. It works well and seems to be reliable but my use is fairly light. It does generate a lot of heat so that COULD be a problem for it's long term use if used heavily. I would use it to raise rear tire pressures from around 50 to the 80 lb. max when we stayed at a place for a few days and lowered pressure to improve the trucks ride, and of course to maintain pressure in the trailer tires.

This is pretty much the same tire inflater that Harbor Freight is selling but with the Slime name on it. At Harbor Freight it goes down to $30 fairly regularly. I use this in my car and it works well. I tried it on one of my 80 psi RV tires and it did strain and got hot, but it did add the air I needed to the tire. I would not try it if inflating a flat tire. Lowes sells a pretty good inflater for $39 and it will work on DC or AC. I use this for my RV with good results and it gets good reviews. Never plug any of these into a cigarette lighter socket - it must be in an appliance socket with 15 amps or higher.

I've got on it works fine for my air bags pretty slow for tires
We cut of the cig plug and added a trailer plug to get juice from the trucks trailer socket
Good Luck, Mike

Then be aware that "Note: For use with 12-volt DC power outlets rated 15 amps or higher. Do not use with older 8 amp cigarette lighter receptacles."

It also has mixed reviews on Amazon
